Rick Steves' Europe
Burgundy: Gourmet Barge Cruise
Season 13
Episode 1306
We set a course on a tranquil cruise along the rivers and canals of France's Burgundy region. Aboard a century-old barge-turned-hotel, we experience the relaxing pace and natural beauty — plus plenty of gourmet meals and fine wine. Stops for a hike or bike ride help us work up our next appetite, and a château lord welcomes us to taste the vintages of the famed Côte d'Or.
